This module converts from <link linkend="equatorial">Equatorial
coordinates</link> to <link linkend="galactic">Galactic
coordinates</link>, and vice versa. First, select which coordinates
should be taken as input values in the <guilabel>Input
Selection</guilabel> section. Then, fill in the corresponding
coordinate values in either the <guilabel>Galactic
coordinates</guilabel> or <guilabel>Equatorial coordinates</guilabel>
section. Finally, press the <guibutton>Compute</guibutton> button,
and the complementary coordinates will be filled in.
